Since that was an excellent opportunity, Leon decided to level up Anti-Mana Field as much as possible. That being said, he couldn't fly, thanks to that. So, eventually, he landed in the middle of the city. Although the place didn't look all that developed, Leon recalled New York. There were several buildings made of concrete... it looked like the survivors managed to produce it using mana. The houses and buildings didn't look much different from each other, but the places seemed quite comfortable and secure.
When Leon's mana was about to end, he used Transfer and reappeared above the city. He had to recover his mana, so he used the remaining mithril box. He had to do that and then let the people of the city attack his Anti-Mana Field again.
Leon had to do that for a few minutes before they finally gave up, but he wasn't mad at them. Thanks to them, Leon leveled up that skill up to level one hundred twenty. So, Leon was in a very mood... he found the place where his sister and niece were probably hiding, and he obtained sixty status points just like that... he had no reason not to be.
"Hello, guys." Leon smiled. "My name is Leon, and I'm looking for... some acquaintances. Can any of you lead me to your leader? I guarantee that I mean no harm and just want to talk. As you can imagine, even any reasonable people would have attacked you guys back, but I'm not here to waste time with conflicts."
"I'm the leader of this place," A familiar-looking green-eyed man said. "... What do you want?"
Leon couldn't help but sigh... why the hell Hector was still the leader of so many people after hundreds of years? It was also a pain in the ass that he would be again the first person he would find upon finding some traces of his family.
"Not you again, Hector," Leon showed a fed-up expression. "I want to talk with Amanda, not you."
"What?" Hector frowned.
"Does the name 'Leon' ring any bells?" Leon asked.
"I met many who had that name..." Hector answered. "What about it?"
"How many of them do you know who are... I don't believe I'm saying this... your brother-in-law?" Leon asked.

"This isn't going anywhere..." Leon sighed. "I'm your brother-in-law who taught you magic and is, unfortunately, once was your best friend. We lost a lot of time during our youth doing useless things... the most recent was you trying to hit my balls with magic. Do you remember that?"
Hector looked at Leon as if he was saying some impossible nonsensical things. Now that Leon looked at him more clearly, Hector seemed very tired. Even after four years of fighting for his life, Hector still looked a bit youthful when Leon found him eight years ago... but even though he didn't age, Hector seemed very tired.
"... It doesn't matter if you don't remember me, where are Amanda and Maya?" Leon asked.
From the middle of that massive crowd, two women appeared. Leon recognized one of them, it was Amanda, and the other looked pretty much like her, but her eyes were green, and she was taller. It was Maya... Leon sighed in relief when he saw them, but he couldn't help feel his heart growing cold when he saw the look in their eyes. They were looking at him as if he was some weird creature...
"Ouch... that piercing gaze hurts," Leon forced a smile. "I guess even you forgot about me, huh... Dear little sister."
"... Who might you be?" Amanda frowned while she was holding a green bow tightly. "Have we met before? I don't recall seeing someone like you before..."
Leon hoped for a few seconds for Amanda to start to laugh and say that was a joke... but that didn't happen.

"Really? Now of all times?"
Leon couldn't remember the last time he cried... so, when he felt his eyes getting filled with tears, he looked up and sighed. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of such a crowd... Regardless, thanks to his actions, he finally noticed how the people managed to live in such a place. The glass covering the city was a spell and ignored all the earth above and around them... somehow. It was like they weren't even living underground, since Leon had no idea how to replicate that, he felt amazed.
"... I guess I will return later," Leon said. "I would like to buy some clothes, where can I find them?"
"We can give you some for free..." Hector said. "What kind of clothes do you want?"
"Anything is fine, I just don't want to keep looking out of place like this," Leon said.
In fact, Leon looked like a caveman who just came from the Stone Age to the future... Regardless, Leon managed to preserve his little bit of dignity and after Hector found some clothes for him. He disappeared without saying a word.
